Update from Counter Terrorism Police North West after Liverpool car explosion

Assistant Chief Constable Russ Jackson of Counter Terrorism Police North West, said:

"Officers continue to search the Sutcliffe Street and Rutland Avenue addresses in relation to the CT incident on Sunday 14 November.

"This afternoon whilst searching a property on Sutcliffe Street several suspicious packages were found.

"Out of caution, these were examined by Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) officers prior to being recovered by forensics teams.

"An extension of the cordon to Boaler Street earlier today has now been retracted to cover only Sutcliffe Street. This decision forms part of our cautious and methodical approach to searching both addresses.

"The public may see EOD officers present tomorrow, if so, their presence will again be solely out of caution in case further items are found.

"Our main focus remains at the Rutland Avenue address."

Anyone who has any information should call on 0161 856 1027 quoting Liverpool Women's Hospital incident.
